Answer 1

A line has slope –. Through which two points could this line pass? (1 point) Responses (12, 13), (17, 10) (12, 13), (17, 10) (16, 15), (13, 10) (16, 15), (13, 10) (0, 7), (3, 10) (0, 7), (3, 10) (11, 13), (8, 18)

Answer 2

A line has slope –. Through which two points could this line pass? (1 point) (12, 13), (17, 10) (16, 15), (13, 10) (0, 7), (3, 10) (11, 13), (8, 18)

Answer 3

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 5) and (1, 4), we'll use the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let's choose (-2, 5) as (x1, y1) and (1, 4) as (x2, y2):

m = (4 - 5) / (1 - (-2))
= -1 / 3

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/3.
